"not desireable"

On the contrary, I believe this test will give Willy an opportunity to prove us

wrong and show that his arrogance is not misplaced, that he really has a

seaworthy, concept worthy of globalization. OR, that he's full of s#*t.

The proof's in the pudding, put your money where your mouth is Willy.

Ok , I understand now, but I dont agree at all.

I plan to give him hundreds of points for entertainment value - just look at the interest in this thread, and there are quite a few other threads.

I think Wellmer should be encouraged and congratulated. Its not everyone that can get 200 tonnes of concrete in an egg shape and move it 50 metres out of a shed!

What a dull day it would be if everyone built the same old thing all the time.

Come back Wellmer - they are all a bunch of jealous, submarine disadvantaged whingers - the lot of them. Please , please tell use when launch day is scheduled. Can we get a discounted group booking to Columbia for the event? The entries in the Guinnes Book of Records alone would be worth it.

1) Only Concrete Submarine Built in Columbia
2) Largest Concrete Submarine Built in Columbia
3) Longest Concrete Submarine Built in Columbia
4) Widest Concrete Submarine Built in Columbia
5) Most talked about Concrete Submarine in the World.

6) First scuttled concrete submarine in Columbia
7) Fastest scuttled submarine in Columbia
8) Most expensive freight ever scuttled in Columbia
9) Funniest launch party ever seen on Youtube

Because it would be tethered to control the unmanned decent and no strong

points are evident, some kind of sling or net may be used hopefully

containing the post implosion shrapnel. I'm not sure why one would look

for concrete remnants anyway.

Would you care to guess at the crush depth?

Tom, it cannot crush! It will just sink through the leaks, and have the same pressure in- and outside.


And wellmer has found another field of sensible operations at sea:
Designing a plastic bottle island/floating platform
what a marvellous, inventive spirit!

We can bet on different things, hear bookie!
Demise depth
Implosion or not
Time to recover wreckage
This is getting harder than fantasy football

We seem to have lost Willy to the floating plastic barge thread.

Is it wrong to laugh so hard when alone?

I'm dam near in tears here...
